New study shows improved weight gain in young cattle when using a dual active drench.

Improve productivity with

smarter worm control

Choose your next drench with confidence, choose Eclipse for smarter productivity.

Effective control of worms in young stock for improved productivity Getting young stock to optimum target weight sets up the farm for better productivity and simplifies farm

management. In fact, the biggest driver of farm margin in cattle operations is weaner throughput.

When young cattle receive the right nutrition and animal health management, it reduces the risk of things

going wrong on farm that can impact productivity, such as:

✔ Cattle held longer on property to reach target weights

• Additional feeding

• Increased marketing costs

✔ Heifers not at required weight for age benchmarks

• Lower joining rates and lifetime cow productivity

• Reduced rates of genetic gain

• Lower farm output of kg/ha

Removing production risk in young stockWorm presence reduces cattle feed intake, shrinking the amount of nutrition available for production. This

increases the risk of young cattle not reaching their targets and reduces feed efficiency.

Gastrointestinal nematodes (worms) are an increasing threat to cattle productivity as old drenches have

declining efficacy against a changing worm population.

The risk of drench failure was recently investigated by Australian researchers . Across 6 farms in the Riverina

region, the efficacy of drenches and performance of cattle post treatment was investigated.

What worms can be left behind with a single active ML drench? In this recent study, on 5 out of 6 farms single active ML drenches failed to provide full control of

intestinal parasites. Results show that 16% of worms were left behind in young cattle following treatment.

Worms detected 10 days after treatment were predominantly Cooperia spp. (Small intestinal worm) and

Haemonchus spp. (Barber’s pole worm).

Figure 1. Worms detected in cattle 10 days after drenching.

Better worm control impacts positively on weight gain The emerging risk of treatment failure with single active MLs in young animals has been known for some time.

Quite often, this risk can go unnoticed due to available nutrition, age of cattle or limited parasite challenge.

However new research has shown that cattle treated with an effective drench achieve better weight gain than

those treated with ineffective drenches.

Across all farms involved in this recent study, at the end of the three-month trial period, the weight difference between cattle treated with Eclipse compared to a single active ML was over 5kg.

This highlights the significant production benefits in achieving more effective worm control and reducing

the risk of leaving behind profit in the paddock.

Eclipse is designed for smarter worm control Eclipse was designed to fight the development of resistance.

This new research shows that when used in the presence of resistance, Eclipse controlled worms on all

farms, with average efficacy at 99.9%. No worm larvae were recovered after treatment on any farm.

These results confirmed that not only is Eclipse more effective, but importantly, increased weight gains can

be achieved compared to using single active ML drenches.

For young cattle, using an effective drench allows cattle to perform to their environmental and genetic

potential, without the risk of treatment failure.

Figure 2. Cattle were treated mid-winter, average starting weight of 272kg. Average growth rate over the trial was 1.09kg day. Weight differences between treatment groups was 5.1kg 90 days after treatment.
